Singapore Haul: Bags & Shoes
For those who know me would most probably have known that I was away in Singapore for my birthday last month. Naturally a little shopping was inevitable. This time around I didn't buy any clothes or accessories but rather just beauty products and bags and handbags.

A Bag Obsession
On October 10th, 2010 (I'm a little behind on jumping on the bandwagon here), Mulberry came out with a collection in collaboration with Target (huge US department store) called Mulberry for Target. Needless to say, the bags were snapped up like hot cakes. Typically, Mulberry bags costs in the thousands of Ringgit (typically about GBP700 and above) so it's no wonder that a lot of the fashionistas on a budget in the US were super excite to pounce on these gems for a mere fraction of the price.
At the time of this post, the collection can still be viewed on the Target site here although all of the items are currently no longer in stock online (there might still be some in selected Target stores).
The past couple of months, I've been really into bags (I haven't bought a lot of bags in a few years - since University days maybe?). It's like there are so many bags out there that just captures my interest/attention. Still, I try to be as frugal as I can and not go crazy. Plus, I need to remind myself that I'm running out of storage space. I've also inherited a ton of bags from my mum (some haven't even been used!) so I've gotta keep this obsession at bay.
Anyways, after a brief Twitter chitter chatter recently, I've decided to get something from the collection while it's still available to purchase (not from the Target website obviously) from local blogshops importing genuine branded bags. Here's my final pick:
Can't wait for it to arrive. You can visit the blogshop here. I wanted to get this design initially though:
The design for the Large Velvet Satchel is more like the classic Bayswater design by Mulberry with an additional heart shaped charm. I finally decided against it cos I've had a similar designed bag in the past (which I've since sold off) and it wasn't exactly convenient to access your items in the bag. I just prefer zippered top closures I suppose. Of course all that preferences are not set in stone or anything so I might still get bags with flaps like this every now and then. Getting back to the bag, as much as it was tempting to me (I was even considering getting one of each before I talked myself out of it), I remembered I'm not such a big fan of patent leather. It is visually very very attractive though I must admit.
Although, this bag from Charles & Keith (~RM259.00) that I saw recently seems to combine elements of Mulberry Bayswater and the Miu Miu Coffer, don't you think?
I'm also eyeing another LV bag and of course, another classic LV design:
The two designs I've come to love from LV are the Speedy 30 (although the Speedy 35 seems tempting too since it's bigger) and the Neverfull MM. I much prefer the Damier Ebene Canvas to the monogram mostly because the dark handles means lower maintenance. I just made myself look super lazy there. Haha. But the Monogram Canvas definitely have a bit more designs available compared to the others.
I considered creating a fashion blog or even converting MySewingProject into one but for now, I'll just bombard this blog with my fashion-related post. :)

2011 New Year Resolutions
Usually come the new year I'd be frantically scribbling my new year resolutions with the hopes of fulfilling them by year end. After many failed attempts despite being super specific and jotting down the details on how to achieve my resolutions as well as attainable measures, I've decided to not obsess over the whole resolution "tradition".
This year, I won't be having any resolutions per se but rather a guideline of what I want to do throughout the year which will prolly be an on-going thing anyways. So here's a general idea of what my personal guidelines look like:
What they are and what I'm going to do to achieve these is up to me and I'll sort through it as I go.
Anyways, hope all of you have an amazing year ahead and to better things to come.

Movie: The Tourist
Sorry peeps. I know I've been missing from this blog for a lil bit and I'd like to start off by wishing everyone an amazing 2011!! *smiles*
Anyways, it's been awhile since I talked about a movie (I think). Haha. The latest movie my family and I went to see was The Tourist starring the incredibly talented Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.
What Is It About?
The story is basically about the pursuit of Scotland Yard for the elusive Alexander Pearce who owes the government a whopping GBP 744 million in back taxes. They kept an eye on Elise (Angelina Jolie) awaiting Pearce to contact her in hopes of a chance for them to nab him. Taking a cue from the instructions in his note to her, Elise hops on a train from Paris to Venice and becomes friendly with an American tourist on the train, Frank Tupelo (Johnny Depp), a Maths teacher to throw the Yard off the chase. A lot of chasing and action ensued especially since Reginal Shaw (Steven Berkoff) enters the picture to retrieve the cash swindled/stolen by Pearce whilst acting as his personal finance advisor.
My Thoughts
The movie started out allowing the audience to try and figure out what was going on before unfolding the storyline bit by bit. The script was intelligent, witty and littered with humor which was delivered beautifully by the cast. I enjoy movies that keeps you interested throughout the entire film and ones that makes you not expect the ending. This was one of those movies. Johnny Depp was brilliant in embodying his character's vulnerability. Angelina's performance was superb in showcasing the different layers and roles of her on-screen persona. The chemistry between these two power A-listers was undeniable, I'm surprised this is their first movie together. Bravo to Quentin Tarantino and his cast and crew.
Have you seen the movie yet? What are your thoughts on the film?
